With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about those having a difficult time.
From elderly neighbours with no one to celebrate with to homeless families and those with disabilities struggling to just get by, reach out to someone who could use a helping hand and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!

Every year, summer means an influx of Kiwis to beaches, rivers and campgrounds all over Aotearoa. Kiwis love summer – it’s in our DNA – but if we’re honest, we’re not always very good at it. Stay safe with a few tips from Westpac:

- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.
And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Wellington’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 415 missions keeping Kiwis safe.
Stay safe in Chopper Country.

Or are you just after a regular babysitter?
well I hope I can help with any of them :) I’m Abbie, I’m 18. I currently am on break until mid feb. I’m a student nurse so have basic first aid. I have my own “modern” car, a full clean drivers license so am happy for day time trips to the beach or to the playground.
I’m confident and comfortable with long days which may include feeding, bathing, bedtimes.
I don’t charge an arm and a leg but I just want to make a little extra cash. Im confident with all ages and have been looking after kids for a couple of years. I have references if required.
Please give me a call or a text if you have any questions or would like to meet.
02102519462.
Look forward to hear from you shortly,
Abbie :)
Hi neighbours,

Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.
A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.
A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.

Angus was a foundation member of our club in 1973. (He and Les Austing are the only surviving foundation members.) He was club president in 1985/6 when the average age of members was less than 50. He has been Youth Director, exchange student host, organiser of the inlet clean-ups, and tireless worker on Te Ara Piko. He was made a Paul Harris Fellow in 1995. Phillip noted that Angus would always ask “what can I do to help?”
There followed tributes from old friend Bevan Smith, himself approaching 50 years in Rotary, Adrienne Murray on behalf of the DG, Graeme and Christine Blick, and the President of Rotary International, Barry Rassin.
Angus then spoke in reply. Angus joined the Awapuni Rotary Club in November 1968, and shortly after that moved to this area and joined Porirua Rotary. The Porirua Club sponsored two new clubs: Tawa and then Plimmerton, so Angus has been a member of three clubs, Awapuni, Porirua, and Plimmerton.
He recalled the ups and downs of club venues and catering, and the fraught issue of women’s membership, fundraising, and major projects, especially Te Ara Piko.
Angus then moved on to how Rotary has affected his life. He mentioned the four-way test, which he has tried to follow in his dealings with others. He values the contacts and fellowship he has made. Overall, he considers he is a better and more motivated person and is immensely grateful to Rotary for it.
The club gave Angus a standing ovation and President Donna presented him with a fine engraved mantle clock.
To be a Rotarian for fifty years means you were admitted at a young age and therefore seen as a person to be reckoned with. Besides Angus’ professional achievements, he is a gentleman of the old school who manages, without any effort, to be both dignified and amiable. Congratulations, Angus, from all of us.
